Good book, film was ok and not a patch on The Firm

 

[Newtown Bear]

Comedy central ! is that cause Danny Dyers such a bad actor

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Brilliant film, same with Green Street, when they gonna do a scottish one ?

And Dyer is not a bad actor at all.

 

[Jack Regan]

Green Street was great

 

[moiphy]

I think they got the line between humour and football hooligan culture spot on with this, it's well written and doesn't take itself too seriously.

 

[828909]

Cheers for the heads up.

 

[Henry Hill]

Never gonna win any Oscars, but it’s an enjoyable film. Footie, violence, comedy and a great soundtrack

 

[sonofbunk]

The book as a sensational opening line

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Good book, film was ok and not a patch on The Firm

First or second version of The Firm ?

 

[Northumbeara]

Rise of the foot-soldier, I.D and the original BBC version of The Firm starring Gary Oldman are decent!

 

[BrianLaudrupsCurtains]

Still quoting this in everyday life as a 30yr old plus who should know better. Now more ironically than anything else. ON THE RORY, ON THE RORY!!

 

[snoopyboymason]

It’s a decent watch

 

[Struths Canary]

Am I the only one that'll admit loving the Football Factory film?

Jog on you sigh!

Green Street was great

Green Street was terrible IMO!

Slightly off topic but on Scottish films , never understood why someone
never made a film version of No Mean City.

Haven't watched I.D for ages. Was a good film. Tools out gumbo.

 

[bluetonic]

First , Gary Oldman loyal!

 

[surfbear]

Not a bad film and some well known Chelsea hooligans are in it in some fight scenes.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

First , Gary Oldman loyal!

Probably shades it for me too although the second has its good points too.

 

[Gazmac]

You flash cockney bassas, u know stanley

Am sure it was a set of 3 books that it game from football factory , England away and another I can’t remember . Great books .

 

[sg9375]

“Jog on”. Enjoyed the movie.

 

[JN271]

I watched Ultras on Netflix recently about Napoli fans which was not bad.

 

[lowerhuttloyal]

Green Street was great

Put the rod away.

Headhunters. Somehow I managed to convince my English teacher to allow me to to use all 3 for my SYS English dissertation.

 

[Gazb1962]

Frank Harper as Billy Bright was really good in it I thought.

Seems to be fashionable to hate Dyer on here.

He performed well in Football Factory IMO.

 

[Wugs]

Awaydays is also worth watching.

 

[Northumbeara]

Awaydays is also worth watching.

Forgot about that one!

 

[daven37]

Football Factory is a good film while being quite grim at the same time.

I like Dyer. I lived in the east end for years and married a proper cockney and he’s still the most cockney person I’ve ever heard in my life.

he’s brilliant in this and human traffic.

Human Traffic is quality!

 

[bear wi nae hair]

Forgot about that one!

Im a fan of this genre of films but I thought this was utter gash. Nothing happened in it. I even watched it again as I thought I was probably drunk first time and if Stephen Graham is in it it must be good. Nope!

 

[bear wi nae hair]

Human Traffic is quality!

Sequel out this year mate

“the weekend has landed!!”

 

[Henry Hill]

Goodbye Charlie Bright and The Business are both decent films too
Both directed by Nick Love who directed Football Factory

Also did the remake of The Firm

 

[148bear]

Original the firm was class,!at time it was the way it was ,young and different views on life at the time.icc

What was it mate ?

Does anybody remember the hooligan film Arrivederci Millwall about the build up to the 82 world cup and the Falklands? I thought that was good.

Bought that a few years ago. Enjoyed that, covered a lot of stuff in a very short time.

 

[Beege]

Frank Harper as Billy Bright was really good in it I thought.

I believe he produced it too

 

[Sheuchans]

Always enjoy this

 

[derbyloyal]

Good book, film was ok and not a patch on The Firm

The Derby lad in the book was based on a good friend of me and my old man. We were most disappointed when that particular bit didn't feature in the film.

Available on YouTube.

 

[derbyloyal]

There’s a spoof of all these films called the hooligan factory and if you enjoyed these kind of films you’d probably like it. It’s one of those films that most people would say was shite but I laughed all the way through it.

Awful film, even as a parody it wasn't funny.

 

[derbyloyal]

Green Street was great

It really wasn't. Poor acting, ridiculous story, not one single shred of realism in any of it. The remake of The Firm was excellent, as was the original in it's own way. ID was ok but not particularly accurate.

 

[The Royal Standard]

Green Street was great

Naw it wasnae
